duniya mean kuchh aise log hote haian, jo kisi ke naukar n hote hue sabake naukar hote haian, jinhean kuchh apana kam n hone par bhi sir uthane ki fursat nahian hoti. jamid isi shreni ke manushyoan mean tha. bilkul befikr, n kisi se dosti, n kisi se dushmani. jo zara hansakar bola, usaka bedam ka gulam ho gaya. bekam ka kam karane mean use maza ata tha. gaanv mean koee bimar p de, vah rogi ki seva-sushrusha ke lie hazir hai. kahie to adhi rat hakim ke ghar chala jae, kisi j di-booti ki talash mean jangaloan ki khak chhan ae. mumakin n tha ki kisi garib par atyachar hote dekhe aur chup rah jae. phir chahe koee use mar hi dale, vah himayat karane se baj n ata tha. aise saik doan hi mauke usake samane a chuke the. kaanstebal se ae din hi usaki chhe d-chha d hoti rahati thi. isalie log use bau dam samajhate the. aur bat bhi yahi thi. jo adami kisi ka bojh bhari dekhakar usase chhin kar, apane sir le le, kisi ka chhappar uthane ya ag bujhane ke lie kosoan dau da chala jae , use samajhadar kaun kahega. saraansh yah hai ki usaki jat se doosaroan ko chahe kitana hi fayada pahuanche, apana koee upakar n hota tha, yahaan tak ki vah rotiyoan tak ke lie bhi doosaroan ka muhataj tha. divana to vah tha aur usaka gam doosare khate the.  akhir jab logoan ne bahut dhikkara-- ’kyoan apana jivan nasht kar rahe ho, tum doosaroan ke lie marate ho, koee tumhara bhi poochhane vala hai? agar ek din bimar p d jao, to koee chulloo bhar pani n de, jab tak doosaroan ki seva karate ho, log khairat samajhakar khane ko de dete haian, jis din a p degi, koee sidhe manh bat bhi n karega, tab jamid ki aankhean khulian. baratan-bhaanda kuchh tha hi nahian. ek din utha aur ek taraf ki rah li. do din ke bad shahar mean pahuancha. shahar bahut b da tha. mahal asaman se batean karane vale. s dakeanan chau di aur saf, bazar gulazar, masajidoan aur mandiroan ki sankhya agar makanoan se adhik n thi, to kam bhi nahian. dehat mean n to koee masjid thi, n koee mandir. musalaman log ek chabootare par namaz padh lete the. hindoo ek vriksh ke niche pani chadha diya karate the. nagar mean dharm ka yah mahatmy dekhakar dekhakar jamid ko b da kutuhal aur anand hua. usaki drishti mean mazahab ka jitana samman tha utana aur kisi saansarik vastu ka nahian. vah sochane laga---ye log kitane eeman ke pakke, kitane satyavadi haian. inamean kitani daya, kitana vivek , kitani sahanubhooti hogi, tabhi to khuda ne itana inhean mana hai. vah har ane-jane vale ko shraddha ki drishti se dekhata aur usake samane vinay se sir jhukata tha. yahaan ke sabhi prani use devata-tuly maloom hote the. ghoomate-ghoomate saanjh ho gee. vah thakakar mandir ke chabootare par ja baitha. mandir bahut b da tha, oopar sunahala kalash chamak raha tha. jagamohan par sangamaramar ke chauke j de hue the, magar aangan mean jagah-jagah gobar aur koo da p da tha. jamid ko gandagi se chidh thi, devalay ki yah dasha dekhakar usase n raha gaya, idhar-udhar nigah dau daee ki kahian jha doo mil jae, to saf kar de, par jha doo kahian najar n aee. vivash hokar usane daman se chabootare ko saf karana shuroo kar diya. zara der mean bhaktoan ka jamav hone laga. unhoanne jamid ko chabootara saf karate dekha , to apas mean batean karane lage--- -- hai to musalaman -- mehatar hoga. -- nahian, mehatar apane daman se safaee nahian karata. koee pagal maloom hota hai. -- udhar ka bhediya n ho. -- nahian, chehare se b da garib maloom hota hai. -- hasan nizami ka koee murid hoga. -- aji gobar ke lalach se safaee kar raha hai. koee bhatiyara hoga.

agar phir hath uthaya, to achchha n hoga. zavan ko apani takat ka nasha tha. usane phir buddhe ko chaanta lagaya, par chaanta p dane ke pahale hi jamid ne usaki garadan pak d li. donoan mean mall-yuddh hone laga. jamid karara javan tha. yuvak ko patakani di, to vah charoan khane chitt gir gaya. usaka girana tha ki bhaktoan ka samuday, jo ab tak mandir mean baitha tamasha dekh raha tha, lapak p da aur jamid par charoan taraph se chotean p dane lagian. jamid ki samajh mean n ata tha ki log mujhe kyoan mar rahe haian. koee kuchh n poochhata. tilakadhari javan ko koee kuchh nahian kahata. bas, jo ata hai, mujh hi par hath saf karata hai. akhir vah bedam hokar gir p da. tab logoan mean batean hone lagian. -- daga de gaya. -- dhath teri jat ki! kabhi mlechchhoan se bhalaee ki asha n rakhani chahie. kaua kauoan ke sath milega. kamina jab karega kaminapan, ise koee poochhata n tha, mandir mean jha doo laga raha tha. deh par kap de ka tar bhi n tha, hamane isaka samman kiya, pashu se adami bana diya, phir bhi apana n hua. -- inake dharm ka to mool hi yahi hai. jamid rat bhar s dak ke kinare p da dard se karahata raha, use mar khane ka du:kh n tha. aisi yatanaean vah kitani bar bhog chuka tha. use du:kh aur ashchary keval is bat ka tha ki in logoan ne kyoan ek din mera itana samman kiya aur kyoan aj akaran hi meri itani durgati ki? inaki vah sajjanata aj kahaan gee? maian to vahi hooan. maine koee kasoor bhi nahian kiya. maine to vahi kiya, jo aisi dasha mean sabhi ko karana chahie, phir in logoan ne mujh par kyoan itana atyachar kiya? devata kyoan rakshas ban ge? vah rat bhar isi ulajhan mean p da raha. pratahkal uth kar ek taraf ki rah li. jamid abhi tho di hi door gaya tha ki vah buddha use mila. use dekhate hi bola-- kasam khuda ki, tumane kal meri jan bacha di. suna, jalimoan ne tumhean buri tarah pita. maian to mauqa pate hi nikal bhaga. ab tak kahaan the. yahaan log rat hi se tumase milane ke lie beqarar ho rahe haian. qazi sahab rat hi se tumhari talash mean nikale the, magar tum n mile. kal ham donoan akele p d ge the. dushmanoan ne hamean pit liya. namaz ka vakt tha, jahaan sab log masjid mean the, agar zara bhi khabar ho jati, to ek hazar lathait pahuanch jate. tab ate-dal ka bhav maloom hota. kasam khuda ki, aj se maine tin ko di murgiyaan pali haian. dekhooan, pandit ji maharaj ab kya karate haian. kasam khuda ki, qazi sahab ne kaha hai, agar yah lauanda zara bhi aankh dikhae, to tum akar mujh se kahana. ya to bachcha ghar chho dakar bhageange ya haddi-pasali to dakar rakh di jaegi. jamid ko lie vah buddha qazi joravar husain ke daravaze par pahuancha. qazi sahab vajoo kar rahe the. jamid ko dekhate hi dau dakar gale laga liya aur bole-- vallah! tumhean aankhean dhooandh rahi thian. tumane akele itane kafiroan ke daant khatte kar die. kyoan n ho, momin ka khoon hai. kafiroan ki haqikat kya? suna, sab-ke-sab tumhari shuddhi karane ja rahe the, magar tumane unake sare manasoobe palat die. islam ko aise hi khadimoan ki zaroorat hai. tum jaise dinadaroan se islam ka nam raushan hai. galati yahi huee ki tumane ek mahine tak sabr nahian kiya. shadi ho jane dete, tab maza ata. ek najanin sath late aur daulat muft. vallah! tumane ujalat kar di. din bhar bhaktoan ka taanta laga raha. jamid ko ek nazar dekhane ka sabako shauq tha. sabhi usaki himmat, zor aur mazahabi josh ki prashansa karate the. pahar rat bit chuki thi. musafiroan ki amadaraft kam ho chali thi. jamid ne qazi samaj se dharm-granth padhana shuroo kiya tha. unhoanne usake lie apane bagal ka kamara khali kar diya tha. vah qazi sahab se sabak lekar aya aur sone ja raha tha ki sahasa use daravaze par ek taange ke rukane ki avaz sunaee di. qazi sahab ke murid aksar aya karate the. jamid ne socha, koee murid aya hoga. niche aya to dekha,ek stri taange se utar kar baramade mean kh di hai aur taange vala usaka asabab utar raha hai. mahila ne makan ko idhar-udhar dekhakar kaha-- nahian ji, mujhe achchhi tarah khyal hai, yah unaka makan nahian hai. shayad tum bhool ge ho. taange vala-- huzoor to manati hi nahian. kah diya ki baboo sahab ne makan tabdil kar diya hai. oopar chalie. stri ne kuchh jhijhakate hue kaha-- bulate kyoan nahian?

qazi sahab ne talavar chamaka kar kaha-- pahale aram se baith jao, sab kuchh maloom ho jaega. aurat-- tum to mujhe koee maulavi maloom hote ho? kya tumhean khuda ne yahi sikhaya hai ki paraee bahoo-betiyoan ko zabardasti ghar mean band karake unaki abaroo biga do? kazi-- haan khuda ka yahi hukm hai ki kafiroan ko jis tarah mumakin ho, islam ke raste par laya jae. agar khushi se n aean, to jabr se. aurat-- isi tarah agar koee tumhari bahoo-beti ko pak dakar be-abaroo kare, to ? kazi-- ho raha hai. jaisa tum hamare sath karoge vaisa hi ham tumhare sath kareange. phir ham to be-abaroo nahian karate, sirph apane mazahab mean shamil karate hai. islam kabool karane se abaroo badhati hai, ghatati nahian. hindoo kaum ne to hamean mita dene ka bi da uthaya hai. vah is mulk se hamara nishan mita dena chahati hai. dhokhe se, lalach se, jabr se, musalamanoan ko be-din banaya ja raha hai, to musalaman baithe muanh takeange ? aurat-- hindoo kabhi aisa atyachar nahian kar sakata. sambhav hai, tum logoan ki shararatoan se tang akar niche darze ke log is tarah se badala lene lage hoan, magar ab bhi koee sachcha hindoo ise pasand nahian karata. qazi sahab ne kuchh sochakar kaha-- beshak, pahale is tarah ki shararat musalaman shohade kiya karate the. magar sharif in harakatoan ko bura samajhate the aur apane imakan bhar rokane ki koshish karate the. talim aur tahazib ki taraqqi ke sath kuchh dinoan mean yah guandapan zaroor gayab ho jata, magar ab to sari hindoo kaum hamean nigalane ke lie taiyar baithi huee hai. phir hamare lie aur rasta hi kaun-sa hai. ham kamazor haian, isalie hamean majaboor hokar apane ko qayam rakhane ke lie daga se kam lena p data hai, magar tum itana ghabarati kyoan ho? tumhean yahaan kisi bat ki takalif n hogi. islam auratoan ke haq ka jitana lihaz karata hai, utana aur koee mazahab nahian karata. aur musalaman mard to apani aurat par jan deta hai. mere yah naujavan dost (jamid) tumhare samane kh de haian, inhian ke sath tumhara nikah kara diya jaega. bas, aram se zindagi ke din basar karana. aurat-- maian tumhean aur tumhare dharm ko ghrinit samajhati hooan, tum kutte ho . isake siva tumhare lie koee doosara nam nahian. khairiyat isi mean hai ki mujhe jane do, nahian to maian abhi shor macha dooangi aur tumhara sara maulavipan nikal jaega. kazi-- agar tumane zaban kholi, to tumhe jan se hath dhona p dega. bas, itana samajh lo. aurat-- abaroo ke samane jan ki koee haqiqat nahian. tum meri jan le sakate ho, magar abaroo nahian le sakate. kazi-- kyoan nahak zid karati ho? aurat ne daravaze ke pas jakar kaha-- kahati hooan, daravaza khol do. jamid ab tak chupachap kh da tha. jyoan hi stri daravaze ki taraph chali aur qazi sahab ne usaka hath pak dakar khiancha, jamid ne turant daravaza khol diya aur qazi sahab se bola-- inhean chho d dijie. kazi-- kya bakata hai ? jamid-- kuchh nahian. khairiyat isi mean hai inhean chho d dijie. lekin jab qazi sahab ne us mahila ka hath n chho da aur taange vala bhi use pak dane ke lie badha, to jamid ne ek dhakka dekar qazi sahab ko dhakel diya aur us stri ka hath pak de hue kamare se bahar nikal gaya. taange vala pichhe lapaka, magar jamid ne use itani zor se dhakka diya ki vah auandhe muanh ja gira. ek kshan mean jamid aur stri donoan s dak par the. jamid-- apaka ghar kis mohalle mean hai? aurat-- adhiyaganj mean. jamid-- chalie, maian apako pahuancha aooan. aurat-- isase b di aur kya meharabani hogi. maian apaki is neki ko kabhi n bhoolooangi. apane aj meri abaroo bacha li, nahian to maian kahian ki n rahati. mujhe ab maloom hua ki achchhe aur bure sab jagah hote haian. mere shauhar ka nam pandit rajakumar hai. usi vakt ek taanga s dak par ata dikhaee diya. jamid ne stri ko us par bitha diya aur khud baithana hi chahata tha ki oopar se qazi sahab ne jamid par lathth chalaya aur danda taange se takaraya. jamid taange mean a baitha aur taanga chal diya. ahiyaganj mean pandit rajakumar ka pata lagane mean kathinaee n p di. jamid ne jyoan hi avaz di, vah ghabarae hue bahar nikal ae aur stri ko dekhakar bole-- tum kahaan rah gee thian, iandira? maianne to tumhe steshan par kahian n dekha, mujhe pahuanchane mean der ho gee thi. tumhean itani der kahaan lagi? iandira ne ghar ke aandar qadam rakhate hi kaha-- b di lambi katha hai, zara dam lene do to batati hooan. bas, itana hi samajh lo ki aj is musalaman ne meri madad n ki hoti to abaroo chali gee thi. pandit ji poori katha sunane ke lie aur bhi vyakul ho uthe. iandira ke sath vah bhi ghar mean chale ge, par ek hi minat bad bahar akar jamid se bole-- bhaeesahab, shayad ap banavat samajhean, par mujhe apake roop mean is samay ishtadev ke darshan ho rahe haian. meri jaban mean itani takat nahian ki apaka shukriya ada kar sakooan. aie, baith jaie. jamid-- ji nahian, ab mujhe ijazat dijie. pandit-- maian apaki is neki ka kya badala chuka sakata hooan? jamid-- isaka badala yahi hai ki is shararat ka badala kisi garib musalaman se n lijiega, meri apase yahi darakhvast hai. yah kahakar jamid uth kh da hua aur us aandheri rat ke sannate mean shahar se bahar nikal gaya. us shahar ki vishakt vayu mean saans lete hue usaka dam ghutata tha. vah jald-se-jald shahar se bhagakar apane gaanv mean pahuanchana chahata tha, jahaan mazahab ka nam sahanubhooti, prem aur sauhadr tha. dharm aur dharmik logoan se use ghrina ho gee thi.
